Since a ceasefire began on October 10, 2026, conditions in Gaza have worsened, with at least five Palestinians dying due to winter storms and hypothermia. Four deaths were caused by collapsing walls on flimsy tents in Gaza City, where displaced people are sheltering due to the ongoing effects of the Israeli bombardment. The victims include three members of one family and another woman. A one-year-old boy also died of hypothermia in Deir el-Balah, bringing the total cold-related deaths to seven since winter began. UNICEF reports at least 100 children have been killed since the truce due to military operations. The Gaza Health Ministry states over 440 people have died from Israeli fire since the ceasefire.
